How attractive is Chinese culture to young people?

The way to let an art form die is to do nothing more than kill everyone who knows and masters it.

It can also be enshrined, molded in gold, and decreed that everyone must be acquainted with its outward appearance. Legislate the form of its creation, and let the most authoritative people control the discourse and maintain its one branch.

In this way, like a mummy offered up, a museum book, everyone knows it is rare, it is magnificent. But its beauty belonged to those who loved it most in the past, and for the present, the once obsessive and demanding skills have eventually become a long belt of bondage.

Many know it is beautiful, and people admire it, marvel at it, take pictures with it, and then go in search of other, simpler, easier beauties, leaving behind those who have not been seduced by time, and those who have used it to make a living. As the play breaks up and the curtain falls, the time for some beauty is long over and others are preparing to take the stage.

The death of beauty is romantic and tragic: everyone knows it is valuable, but everyone has stopped loving it. Or rather, when those who really loved it also died, beauty, too, had its curtain call.

Traditional culture is one of the hallmarks of Chinese culture. Scholars in the Republic of China, such as Cai Yuanpei and Lu Xun, advocated the beauty of traditional culture and broke down its ideology. But nowadays many times when traditional culture is publicized, traditional ideology is promoted and aesthetics is neglected. According to the law of communication nowadays, without aesthetics there will be no young people to pay attention to it, and young people are often the object of oppression of traditional ideology.

So these two years in a small attempt to do, and CCTV cooperation to make a documentary can show the aesthetic of cultural relics "if the national treasures can speak", so far the effect is not bad.

I will continue to think and practice when I have the opportunity.
